Michigan State
By Devendra Banhart.
Simple song, chords are G and Am
Capo 1.
I just put the basic idea of it, I'm sure you can figure it out.
G
My friend has my favorite teeth
Am
They bend backwards when she breathes
G
And it whistles
G
And sweetness is all sweetness was
Am
Bees are blackeyed birds that buzz
And my love has my favorite ears
They lean forwards when she hears
Well evil is all evil was
Birds are blue-eyed knees that buzz
G
And i said oh michigan, michigan state
Am
How i'd love to live in you
Oh i've never been to michigan state
Still i'd wanna live in you
And you can't talk without your tongue
Don't try and drown without your lungs son
Well my snail has my favorite slow
The shell helps the snail still the skin lays low
And if my snail has my favorite slow
Then my cold has my favorite snow
But if my snail's cold and comes to a halt
Then my sea has my favorite salt
The salt keeps the sea from feeling sweet
And my toes have my favorite feet
And if i sweat salt
And the earth sweats heat
Oh michigan, michigan state
How i'd love to live in you
I've never been to michigan state
Still i'd want to live in you
Michigan state state state state
